Description

On 7 October, ISS commemorated our 69th birthday, the Dies Natalis of ISS. Rector Prof. Inge Hutter began the celebration with the question, 'Where to go from here?', looking at our current vision and the future of our teaching, research and cooperation for global impact. Host and ISS alumnus, Lynn Zebeda, led our panel of speakers, Dr Althea Rivas, Dr Arul Chib and Lisa Jordan, to explore three themes: decolonization of knowledge, technology in development and social enterprises. Dr Arul Chib illuminates how technology, like mobile phones, can be a transformational tool to provide and spread crucial information, particularly in contexts that are resource restrained or where power-relations exist.
